gow VS winget-cli

And if need so much something like this, you can always use WSL or GOW (https://github.com/bmatzelle/gow)

I’m honestly shocked no comment I’ve seen here has talked about ‘gnu on windows’ nor Windows Subsystem for Linux. I use both, because I prefer the windows environment but also like linux command lone.

Use gow, and WindTerm; and if you want an even better experience install lsd, fd, and lf all of which are downloadable via Chocolatey, the Windows package manager

Gnu on windows has you for the missing utils https://github.com/bmatzelle/gow/wiki

Here is link number 1 - Previous text "GOW"

¹ Bash was ported natively, zsh runs through mingw quite well. ² https://github.com/bmatzelle/gow

Ah, you're on Windows, so you don't have those utilities. Looks like these days, folks are using GoW (GNU on Windows) to install some useful GNU utilities on Windows machines: https://github.com/bmatzelle/gow

Being using GOW since forever as a lightweight cygwin/msys (native) alternative.

You're correct here, and that's exactly the reason Winget is a package manager, as dependency management is part of teh stable release since version 1.6.3133:

Currently, I'm troubleshooting an annoying issue on my shared devices that it's a hell to delete. See this ticket: https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli/issues/3365

It's also on the official microsoft package manager (winget).
